Joshua Tree Tour - Spencer personally texted us with all the information needed for the tour. He had water bottles and granola bars for us in the van. He had knowledge of the park and the terrain, flora and fauna and geographic features. He was informative, helpful, patient and friendly with all guests. When we discovered there were closures of the main entrance closest to the visitor center, he quickly made an adjustment to drive to 29 Palms to another entrance. We saw beautiful terrain and formations with hikes at each stop. Saw some birds and I spotted a coyote!
Spencer gave us a great recommendation for a restaurant in Joshua Tree. All together a very pleasant day! We recommend his tour.

Great day, Great tour! - We have never been to a Joshua Tree . We didn’t want to just go and not know anything or what to see. We didn’t an excursion because we wanted to know information and sights to see. Frank, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and took us to see and experience the park. He knew the history and took us to safe places to rock climb at our level of experience. (We are inexperienced) If you are experienced or with kids these tour guide will take you to places at your level. It was a great experience. We didn’t have to drive and we were able to sight see to the fullest. I definitely recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent knowledge of the park. Lovely tour guide. Highly recommend. - This was a fantastic introduction to Joshua Tree National Park. I was a solo traveller and didn't want to explore it on my own, but mostly, I wanted to understand the history of the park, the various animals that call it home and how the eco-system works. I was not disappointed! Spencer was not only lovely but incredibly knowledgeable about everything, from Lichens and dirt to the development of the rock formations, and, of course, the Joshua Trees themselves. I highly recommend this trip. The communication was excellent. The meeting point was very easy to find. And each of the stops just got better and better. Don't hesitate. Book this trip!

Great way to see the park in a shorter amount of time - I had a fantastic time. This was a great way to see the park, especially if you're only spending a day or less there. Spencer was friendly, kind, and very knowledgeable. A must-do when you're in the area!
